Fun fact: with the MMU you can also change filaments mid-print and therefore use more than 5...
@klaus-g2 which printer and which project (post a ZIPed project file from slicer), besides that: the answer to your question is: yes.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Find out why this is pinned in the general section!

Sorry, but that's all I didn't ask for. I know that I can use 5 colors in the MMU.
And I know why I asked precisely in the Forum "PrusaSlicer" and why I asked for the funktion "Mulitmaterial painting".
The question is how I can choose more than two colors with this funktion.
regards Klaus
RE: Multimaterial painting with more than two colours?
After you are finished painting with the first two colors, select the dropdown for first or second color and choose Extruder 3 (if you have 3 extruders setup). Then you use your left or right mouse button to paint the third color. When I just tried it in PrusaSlicer it showed the correct colors in the preview at least. I have not tried printing with this setup yet.

Hallo Walter,
this operation mode seems to work (I expected several dropdown lines for each extruder).
many thanks
